* The Sea is Watching (2002) - (Japanese: "Umi wa Miteita") A charming story about samurai-era working girls in a small seaside town brothel.

Kimuno has two regular customers - an abusive middle-aged yakuza type and a tender elderly widower who asks her to move in with him - but she weaves her own mysterious and forlorn story. A funny, bittersweet, but warm film about the power of the heart, written by the late Akira Kurosawa.
* Paper Moon Affair (2005) Ms. Shimizu stars as "Keiko," an enigmatic Japanese beauty, married to a domineering Chinese husband, forced to find herself while lost in a small town in the remote Pacific Northwest.
